At the heart of all navigation is the ability to interpret a chart. Whether paper-based or electronic (chart plotter), we need to understand charts to remain safe. Unlike land-based navigation, there aren’t roads to follow and we cannot necessarily see the terrain or hazards; after all, they may be covered in water.
We have a range of tools at our disposal to enable safe navigation. From Charts to Almanacs, this module introduces the publications & tools available, the relationships between them and how to interpret the information they provide.
